StevenE: People question m4/3 format for good reason when we see lenses like this at US$1300.This is equivalent to a FF 24 f/2.8, which can be had for Canon at US$550, less than half the price and it is smaller and lighter. Even more significantly, you can get a FF 24mm f/1.4 from Sigma for US$850, that's a US$450 savings, and there is, and likely never will be, a m4/3 equivalent to that!So, although it has it's uses, micro 4/3 is a compromised format

panther fan: The thing people complain about is that a [24mm F2.8 ISO 800] on FF and a [12mm F1.4 ISO 200] on M43 will produce exactly the same Image. Same angle of view, same Noise, same DOF. Thats all Fine. But the lenses for FF are Cheaper an lighter which kinda combats the advatages of M43.

akjos: Cool and interesting lens... but I think high quality fast 28mm eqv or 35mm eqv would have been much more welcome and better seller as overall much mote useful focal length. I just got the 15 1.7 and if panasonic made 28 ,30 or 35 with F1.2 or 1.4 amd added OIS that would have been awesome.

Aroart: I find it amusing that people will hate this camera because of no 4k and those same people would not need or use 4k to its full benefits .... but a real film maker Casey Neistat uses a 70d for most of his vlogging...This is a you tube vloggers dream come true camera...

@Kewlguy - "If video is SO important to you, look elsewhere."Well, the thing is, Canon has made it a video centric camera. They've put on some great features, why not 4K? Have you seen 4K downsized to 1080p? I have, there's a video comparing a 5D2 (or 5D3) shooting 1080p against a Samsung Galaxy Note shooting 4K downsized. The Samsung video was better. I can't think of a comparison done where 4K downsized to 1080p wasn't better than a 1080p only video.

prtsmnn1: What a waste of brain space ! Not going to waste my time here.Many companies make leather items for a lot of different purposes, nothing new here. Where do you suppose all the leather comes from.Many boot companies use Bision . You can order Bision boots and belts From LL Bean . You can go out to many upscale restaurants and order Bision to eat.I pay for what I want with my money so if you don't like it then what is that to me?

Bhima78: This looks good for professionals that are already shooting with lots of Canon glass... to the budding professional, this price point puts it squarely against the A7S with the 4K addon. Pretty sure the A7S with that addon will absolutely mop the floor with this though. Of course, maybe the A7S has more rolling shutter and this has none. Someone that is actually a videographer, chime in as to why you would buy this other than owning Canon glass already, over the alternatives (especially the A7S with the add-on).

Kodachrome200: who the heck cares about this. thousands of photo students a year graduate with work this nice most better. if you want to highlight photographers work on this page why not do movers and shakers in the industry.

Love them! Very clever. This is DPR so not really surprised lots of people are being spiteful with their comments.

Zigadiboom: The price is very reasonable as I believe paying a premium for a Hasselblad over a Pentax is well worth it... but the lack of wifi is a deal breaker for me as I need ready access to facebook and instagram to upload pictures of my kids and pets running around.

yabokkie: small sensor doesn't necessarily mean lower quality in low light. 4/3" should be able to compete with 35mm format with f/1.4 zooms (12-35/1.4 and 35-100/1.4) and f/0.7 primes (18/0.7, 25/0.7, and 43/0.7). someone will make them for us, Pana, Oly, Sigma, or Tamron.

but still from these shots we can see the image qualities are not good at base ISO. smaller sensor means lower quality in adequate light (same ISO means shallower wells on smaller sensors, thus more noise, lower quality).

shoot at ISO25 with a 43/0.7 lens on a 4/3" camera, when will we be able to do it?

What's wrong with 16MP? Isn't the D4 16MP? The 1Dx is 18MP. Someone on the Fuji forums just posted a picture taken with a 16MP sensor that was blown up to 18' and put on the side of a building!

You know that APS-C is closer in size to m43 than it is to FF right? I keep seeing posts by APS-C users talking about the 'tiny' sensor in m423 cameras and how they'll stick to their "huge" APS-C sensor.

f1.2 on m43 is like f1.4 and a bit on APC-S. Not sure the difference would be noticeable at any focal length.

A really poor interview. For instance the question about the price hike was brushed aside with a comment about Lightroom pricing! How was that relevant to the question? Did you pursue it? Did he refuse to answer?
